Have you seen this earlier and do you know the answer ?

The first look likes the xercesc package is not proper installed (it can't find some of its files).
Let him check if some other programs using XercesC works...

The last I didn't seen bevore. Looks like Qt try to connect some Desktop environment!?

Hi,

xerces: sounds like an issue on Gentoo. Get more information at http://bugs.gentoo.org/259408 (where another app runs into the same problem)
Qt: Does the trick solve this issue? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... et-287176/

HOi,

Reinstall of Xerces-c did the trick.

But thanks for the tip.
